Weaselfuckers is a figurative term, right? After piggate in the UK I'm just not sure anymore.

The status is NOT quo.

No weasels were harmed in the creation of this attraction.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Presenting Pea Pod sounds like what we are calling Giving the Gift, which comes immediately after Fist Under Elbow

Oh! Wait! *That* move, the one in second set with the actual fist. Yeah, your teacher goes way faster than mine does. Or rather, you are lucky to be in class where everyone is moving at the same pace. My beginners class was cancelled so now I am trying to keep up with the folks in the intermediate class and they are way past me, so I'm at this weird place where I have first set down and then my second set is a jumble. Not that I mind too much, I figure if I keep going to class and practicing, it eventually comes together.

Also deadline got blown, had a cigarette, and got blown again is a hilarious line. Kudos, Zen!

Weasels getting fucked and deadlines getting blown, racy today!

We're actually all over the place, Burrell, but everyone does whatever the lesson of the week is regardless of what else they know. There were people who just started last night, quite a few, so after a few weeks they will know the second set well and be pretty much guessing their way through the first (which is how I am with the Qi Gong). But if they keep coming the lessons will eventually circle around and we'll do the first part again. The people who have been doing it for years can focus on subtleties and us newbies can just try to learn what comes next, it seems to work.

But yes, second set, actual fist. Now I am curious what presenting the peapod is!

Just practiced with my co-worker and when we got to Fist Under Elbow I definitely had something wrong, but then we just went through the first set together again and that went really well. So my day is off to a pretty good start!

And I had forgotten we are getting lunch today with our teambuilding Pictionary game, so I have that to look forward to. EVerything's coming up -t. No weasels.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

thanks, Burrell!

Presenting Pea Pod is the move where you have both arms in front of you with the right arm extended further than the left, both elbows bent, hands open flat, and the right leg extended a little bit in front of the left. It looks like a defensive posture, but you are also preparing to strike. Why that's named after a pea pod, I have no idea.

And, hey, all my tinkering with the elliptical machine (or just time, I don't know) has worked, I can use it! Red-letter day.

I wish I knew what command you were an option for. I'll bet it's something badass like rsync.

Oh, I think we call that Lift Hands. Sometimes the names are not evocative.
